I’m in a mood. What should be banned (lighthearted)

[Merryoldgoat]

Fucking door knocking charity callers. Why is it allowed? It’s intrusive and I bloody hate it.

Pink deodorant - always cloying and horribly floral.

Having to refill rinse aid

I think the menopause is hitting hard today.

Dogs.

Influencers

People who hate dogs.

Ant and Dec.
Tesco pickers who meet in a busy aisle for a chinwag with each other, then roll their eyes when you politely ask if they could move so you can actually reach a shelf.
Amazon boxes that need scissors to open, only to reveal that half of the contents is bubble wrap, last time round socks fgs.
Pigeons that get on my pigeon proof bird table and hoover up all the little birds food.

People who think emails are an instant messaging or chat system and then email again if they haven't had a reply within 5 minutes or call me to check I've received it.

Yes I've got your email.
No I haven't read it, I have had 150 other emails today as well and you only sent it 5 minutes ago.
No I don't know the answers to the questions yet because I haven't read the email, as you only sent it 5 minutes ago.
No it's not urgent.
No I don't know what time I will be able to respond by. It really depends on how many more times I am interrupted with pointless phone calls.

It's been a long week.

White corporate males in their 30’s wearing brown shoes, gilets and flicked up hair.

Ban, remove their turnstile access and give them “Agency” pass cards <evil laugh>

Adding to the nut posts, my DH when he eats pistachios and I find random shells when I'm tidying up!

People who rip open packets that have resealable tops!! You again DH..

People wanting to chat when I'm listening to the Archers on a walk!

Claudia winklemans side smirk 😏 ffs

Quiet, creepy electric cars.

The people who replied to my question (not here) about a very specific item by telling me I should get something different instead. No, I need that actual thing to deal with a particular type of hearing loss as I explained in the post, and your suggestion just won't work. But you have to keep arguing for your favourite product, even if it isn't appropriate and is three times the price.

Coriander

Migraines

People who murder the spreadable butter by digging big chunks out and the smearing back the leftovers covered in crumbs.

People who drive at 35mph in the 40/50/60 zone and then continue to do the same speed in the 30 zone.

People who send a work teams message saying hi. Then another saying how are you? Just tell me what you want me to do. I know you don't give a fuck about me, or want to know how I am.

Coriander again for good measure.

People who leave the After Eight envelopes in the box.

‘Yous’
For example, what are yous up to?

Cannot stand it for some reason.

Standing in the vestibule in first class on the train so the doors are constantly opening and closing. If you’re that desperate to get off nearest the exit at Reading buy a fucking upgrade.

Talking loudly on the phone for an hour in an otherwise quiet carriage.

Sitting outside my house with your engine running on the phone for an hour, especially when I’ve had a shit day.

God knows how people manage with arthritis in their hands etc. Nightmare for someone like my elderly dm.

At least opening CD cellophane is largely a thing of the past. And then inevitably breaking the case when you try to take out the disc. Which then skips for the slightest finger smudge. 🤨

People on their phones who meander around with no care for anyone around (or particularly behind) them

Disposable barbecues.

And packets of rice or pasta that rip open all the way when you try to tear open at the top

Packing scissors in such a way that you need another pair of scissors to get them out.

People who send a work teams message saying hi. Then another saying how are you? Just tell me what you want me to do. I know you don't give a fuck about me, or want to know how I am

When they say how are you I always reply ‘how can I help’

Stupid adverts featuring Ian Botham, Clare Balding, Paddy "booking mad" Mcguinness, the annoying woman who says "it's so fresh" with a tinkly laugh, and anything selling overpriced cremation packages. So there.

Umbrellas - fed up of having to duck to avoid having my eyes poked out.

Could we ban menopausal bladders that get me up 2 and 3 times a night to pee

Overcharging for things like football tickets and pedigree cats. Okay I get that these things are luxuries but really, can't you put a fair price on it?

This is my ds! And he kind of knocks the ball of gum around his teeth endlessly which makes it worse.

Vaping, SUVs, parking like a dickhead, billionaires, people who don't like dogs, wearing short-shorts in the gym, milk in hot drinks, Norfolk, 'excited for', things that are grey and aren't horses ... is there a word limit?

My fucking freezing cold feet. Despite wearing slippers AND thermal socks,they are still like lumps of ice.
